My doors are a tad drafty and leak a bit even though rather well aligned. Plus some of the seals have seen better days.

Any suggestions on new ones? Genuone ones seem rather pricey and some say arnt that much better than pattern parts...
 
I have cheap britpart seals on my 110 and they do the job they are supposed to, though my draft problem is door alignment rather than poor seal performance.
 
I've never experienced genuine fronts, went straight to pattern which have been fine for years. The 2nd row pattern ones however were terrible so I had to go genuine for them. This was all 14 yrs ago so things may have changed quality wise.
 
Ill have to have a look! Basically drivers side theres a draft that runs up my elbow. Try as I might I can adjust the door anymore, if i want it to close without slamming that is!

There rears are falling to bits around the bottom and let water in when it rains

Have you tried plastic shims under the hinges, as well as adjusting the door catch?
I used Britpart ones on mine and they seem ok, but like zeaphod I have a bit of an alignment issue too.

If you put a plastic spacer under the hinge on the door pillar, it will take a bit of pressure off the door seal on the hinge side of the door. This should allow the door to pivot further over on the latch side and so get closer, more easily, to the latch side of the seal. If that makes sense :confused:
